Mobile Resources for Boston Children's Hospital Clinicians

Welcome to the mobile resources site of Boston Children's Hospital. Here you will find resources for clinicians, researchers and employees to use mobile devices for everything from patient care to productivity and education. Please have a look around and let us know if there are things you would like to see here.

PowerChart Touch is a suite of mobile applications that allows you to access PowerChart from anywhere with only an internet connection. There is no VPN connection needed so this provides easy access via the “Ambulatory” and “Message Center” apps to most of what you would need in the medical record. PowerChart Touch has many wonderful features, however it is not a full replacement for all functions on the desktop version, including orders and meaningful use functions. Simply put, PowerChart Touch offers wonderful convenience and accessibility to review charts and leverage the power of Nuance dictation but does not yet replace the desktop.
